Say it was the size of Corsica and traveling at the speed of a reversing truck and bumped into a land mass. Would it still be an extinction level event?

My brain squirrels cannot sit still long enough to focus on an ordinary news/current affairs website. It's all so painfully slow and boring. There was (a long time ago) a java script wall of news from all over the world that updated in real time. It closed years ago and I never found anything similar. It was just a wonderful mosaic of headlines and stories that didn't sit still. The mosaic felt alive and if something caught your attention you better click on it before it turns into something else! You kind of see things like this in some movies, where they look at a wall of info on a big screen and everything is moving and updating. It's not waiting for clicks. You have to chase it! Is there anything like that or maybe a site that lets you construct a bunch of real time feeds that update constantly?

p.s. I realise that to many what I'm describing probably sounds like hell on earth but to my brain squirrels it would be heaven 🤣

(Update the first: Looks like the Feedbro Add-on in Firefox is the closest I'm going to get at the moment)

(Update the second: Thanks so much to geekwithsoul for finding that old javascript site I was talking about. I never thought I'd see it again. I've added a pic of what it looks like on my wide screen. Now that's what I call a wall of information ❤️)

It happened to me this morning. I was feeling like everyone hated me and I was completely useless and a failure at everything and then I suddenly thought... "What would Worf do?" and things actually started to feel better 🤣 What's your strategy?

I discovered I had ADHD about 18 months ago and since then I've noticed my personality has changed quite a bit. Just knowing the reason why the world always seemed such a confusing place and realising how much masking I did all my life, I've noticed the pendulum seems to be swinging in the other way now. I'm never masking again and if that means I seem strange to neurotypicals then so be it.

Have any of you who also discovered your neurospicyness in the last few years experienced anything like this as well? I'm just done pretending and I know it's probably making me more of a challenge to be around.

I wonder if this is normal and if the pendulum will swing back eventually to a more harmonious place.

Also when did it become ok for dentists to tell you off for not brushing up to their standards. I just noticed how they routinely use shaming as a form of control.

The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I'm told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I'm full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake...

I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.

The only group that's ever accepted me and has welcomed me without doing that so far has been my local drama group (and, of course, this place :) ). There, it seems my "Golden retriever" energy is always welcomed and in fact valued. What's been your experience?

Do you feel your can be open about it with a potential employer?
